    Hiking

    Perched on a hill overlooking Lyon, the Fourvière basilica is an architectural and spiritual gem. Built in the 19th century, it impresses with its richly decorated interior and panoramic views of the city.

    The basilica Notre-Dame of Fourvière is the work of the architects Pierre Bossan and Sainte-Marie Perrin. It was built thanks to a public subscription in 1872 and consecrated in 1896.
    The basilica is at the top of “the hill which prays”. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is listed as a historical monument, registered to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, considered as the emblem of the city of Lyon, the basilica welcomes over 2.5 million pilgrims and visitors each year.
